    Got home from work today about 8am, as some of you know i work a 3rd shift.

    All night long i've had a slight tooth ache, about halfway through the night i got two aspirin from my supervisor, so that knocked out the pain for almost 3hrs, then

    it started up again towards the end of the night, guy i work with had some aspirin in his car, so took that before i left for home, worked.... for an hour.

     

           I get home 8am, i get to bed ended up tossing and turning til 11am, from there til  3pm i tried everything under the sun til take this pain away i was in agony, finally

    got hold of a dentist on his emergency number, he told me to take a certain type of aspirin and then he sent a prescription order for antibiotics to a local pharmacist by me.

         I go there get everything, take them, lie down pain subsides after about an hour, so i go back to bed its now like 7pm sat, i actually fall

    asleep as im so tired, been up since 8pm the previous day, tossed and turned but felt like i slept, woke up 3hrs later and here i type this, my left bottom gumline is inflamed,

    i got an ice pack on it, already taken another aspirin and antibiotic which is taking its dam time to do anything.

     

    The irritation and pressure are driving me mad, hard to even concentrate, ya i should go to the dentist, problem is their all closed and dont open up til monday, i already have an

    appointment to get my tooth pulled, im actually looking forward to it, i had so much planned, and to do for this weekend, and so far i spent almost half of it in pain

    and without sleep, now that im up i cant get back to sleep, wtf, thats my weekend so far.

      More than likely you have a cavity affecting the nerve.

       

      Go get some alcohol and rinse the area where the pain is. Something like whiskey or super strong. You don't need to swallow it but it will help the pain by numbing the area and killing any bacteria.

       

      You need to see a dentist right away or you risk losing the tooth itself. You do NOT need the nerve alive to keep the tooth. Speaking from experience.

    Hello Valkan,

     

    I need to ask you a question about Steam and Arma 2/OA. First off, if I uninstall my ArmA 2 titles from my Steam account, can I re-install them at a later date? Secondly, can I uninstall Steam and then re-install it on my D drive which is a 2 Tb HDD. My computer came with a dinky 128 Gb SD drive and I am using it up fast and would have no room at all for any of the mods I wish to use, mainly Vietnam:The Experience (one of my all time favorite mods). You definitely are more knowledgeable about these matters than most of the other people that post comments about adding mods to ArmA 2/OA. I remember how to use mod folders and add them when I played ArmA 1 years ago but everything has changed since then. Also, where do you put the -no splash and -no map commands. Any help on your part would be greatly appreciated.

     

    Thanks,

    Chris

      Hi Whitewolf or is it GreyWulf? :D

       

      Answers to your questions:

       

      1) Yes you can REINSTALL all steam games at a later date. Make sure to keep ~ 3x the HD space needed FREE per game when you do the install because STEAM compresses the game before d/l and decompress during installation so it turns out bigger than what it shows.

       

      Install ARMA 2, launch the game, close it

      Install the ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead (if you have it), launch the game, close it

      Install the British Armed Forces DLC (if you have it), launch the game, close it

      Install the PMC DLC (if you have it), launch the game, close it

      Install the ACR DLC (if you have it), launch the game, close it

       

      That is the way to make it work supposedly if you have the full ARMA 2 combined arms with all DLC pack.

       

      Setup your graphics and sounds, and keyboard bindings, close it to save the settings then launch the game again to check.

       

      2) Use the @xxx folder names as from ARMA 1 for ARMA 2 to keep consistency. You can actually use whatever you want but it is terrible for sorting the mod folders from the game folders so I suggest you keep the known formats.

       

      EG: @VTE in your ARMA 2 main game folder.

       

      2) The command line for ARMA 2 is similar for ARMA 1 and 3 actually.

       

      I use a bat file inside the ARMA 2 or ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead (if you have this, us this as your main game ) folder to launch mods because there is no good mod launcher for ARMA 2.

       

      So it would be something like this from one of my current bat files:

       

      arma2oa.exe -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -nosplash -world=empty -cpucount=4 -mod=@NoBlurOA;@dfs_3rdperson;@corepatch;@cba;@cba_a2;@cba_oa;

       

      Replace the @xxx with the game folders you are using. Copy and paste the contents into a text file, and save it inside the ARMA 2 or ARMA operation arrowhead folder and name it 

       

      arma2vte.bat or something like that.

       

      I think you get the point. If not, just list your mods and we can help you setup a bat file.

       

      I have like 20 + bat files that I've created to launch my favorite mods and copy, edit and save a new one when I want to test ARMA 2 mods.

       

      Good luck!
